| The view from the reviewing stand showed
| the procession to be a remarkably good one.
| 1t is probable, indeed, that the A. o. H. of
| Connecticut never made Fl better showing
| than it did yesterday. The marching OF
| some of the divisions in company front was
| excellent. The Waterbury men came in for
| applause all along the line. The parade
| passed over the following line of march:
| After passing the reviewing stand, to Elm,
| to York, to Davenport avenue, to Howard
| avenue to Columbus avenue, to Lafayette
street, to Congress avenue, to Church street.

Just before the parade was dismissed the
hardest shower of the day broke over the
city and general breakup OF the line re-
suited at once. The shower continued for
nearly an hour.

hungry men, who had gone without food for
several hours, ventured out to the different
catering establishments. The main banquet
was served at the fremont House, where
Mayor York, Chief Marshal Murphy, National
Delegate Wilhere were dined and speeches
made. Governor Lounsbury and his staff
had accepted the invitation to attend the
banquet. but owing to the delay occasioned
by the storm the Governor was prevented
from so doing. He met many of the proni--
nent members of the order in the lobby of
the New Haven House before he left the
city.
1t was nearly half-past four O'Clock when
the dinner was served at the fremont House.
Chief Marshal Murphy was seated at the
head of one of the long rows of tables. At
